Spaghett

This place really checks all the boxes. The food was fantastic, the cocktails were truly impressive. Especially the Venetian Bloom, which was one of the best drinks I’ve had in a long time. The desserts were the perfect finishing touch. The service was warm, attentive, and added to the overall experience. I also love that it’s set in a beautiful historic home. Growing up in a historic town myself, it’s something I really appreciated about Spaghett. The whole experience felt thoughtful and well-executed. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone.

Spaghett is an incredible new spot from Chef Sam Hart (of Counter fame), and it absolutely lives up to the hype. The complimentary focaccia is addictive—we ordered it twice more with the eggplant and mustard dips. Every pasta we tried was outstanding, especially the deconstructed lasagna and the bright, fresh Lumache. The French toast appetizer with carbonara sauce was a sweet-savory dream and the flat iron steak was perfectly cooked with flavorful sides. Portions are on the smaller side but priced right, and the drink menu is creative and fun (don’t skip the High Life with Aperol and lemon). Service was truly top-notch—shoutout to our server Jade, manager Derek, and the lovely Renee. The menu changes often, which just gives us more reason to come back. Charlotte, this one’s a gem.

We took a chance and popped in right when they opened and sat at the bar to celebrate my husband's birthday. Highly recommend making reservations if you want to sit at a table. Eli recommended getting the Spagett Supper (I don't think this is offered every night) we went on a Sunday. With this you get small plates of several dishes, bread service and desert. It was just enough food and we were not overstuffed. Glad we could try different items and everything was amazing. The White Negroni and the Espresso Martini were delicious made by Eli and David. Amanda the bar manager stopped over to welcome us. This place is beautiful decorated and cozy, with several rooms and upstairs private dining. Very quiet, great place for a special occasion celebration. Parking could be a challenge, I recommend ride share so you can enjoy their yummy drinks.

We stopped by at 5 pm on a Sunday and sat at the bar. No reservations. Always make reservations here. We got lucky. We did the “Supper at Spaghett” - They pick your food. 60$ a person. We were not disappointed. Every course was delivered on time. Our servers Eli and David helped us choose cocktails and wine. They asked us if we needed a break between our entree and dessert. We did. This is a very special place. We will be back.

I read about this restaurant from Axios, and I was super excited to try their food since the the food is locally sourced and “affordable”. However, my experience here was far from great. To give credit, the ambience was great! I like the intimacy and vibe of the restaurant. The staff were friendly and our waiter was informative. The drinks were also pleasant, both the mocktails and cocktails. But that’s all the praise I can give. The food itself was just fine. Nothing blew my mind or taste great, it was just fine. Although this place is consider “affordable” it still gets pricey, and the portions do not match the price they’re charging. The pasta was the worst part of our meal. It had no flavor, the meat was dry, and it was served a bit cold. If you’re looking for an Italian restaurant, save yourself the time and money and go somewhere else.

Great restaurant! Food and service were great. The gnocchi was out of this world good. The restaurant is in an old house so it’s pretty cool. It was very crowded and the vibe was super cool. Def recommend having a reservation!!!

Amazing pasta and cocktails. Highly recommend the gnocchi and the baked pasta, but you really cant go wrong. The cocktails are all really inventive and go with the menu. Everything was delicious.

The ambience, food, service, and overall experience was phenomenal! The tortellini was some of the best food I’ve ever had, and than you for the banana espresso martini!

Finally open ! Waited a long time for this place, and it was such a great experience. Great service for a start and such a nice way to restore a house into restaurant, which I know was previously a restaurant but I know they changed things a bit. CJ our server was hands down amazing . So kind and sweet and easy to ask things from. We also met the manager Derek, also so nice. The mixologist Amanda who created some great drinks for us. The chef Kendall who came out to talk to us. Great knowledge about food and especially sourcing local. The house itself still has rooms filled with tables and high tops and the bar area. We loved our table as it wasn't near anyone and it was spacious. The menu is great . So many varied things . New things to me and some classic Italian dishes. Their cocktail menu was nice and simple and they also have a nice wine list . I went with the white Negroni, also on our table was the classic Negroni and the Big dom, bourbon based drink. All were excellent and served nicely. Food wise we ordered to share dishes. We started with the French toast alla carbonara. Take on the classic French toast but savory. With a honey aioli. Nice big slice of toast and the aioli underneath. It was a nice crunchy bite and even with the honey in the sauce it wasn't sweet. Nice different app. Also tried the NC terraine. Made if rabbit and pork. With sweet onion and stone fruit. Which was nectarine. This is recommend they serve with a cracker or some kind of bread. As by itself it's just kinda like meatloaf. You kind need something to put it on. CJ was nice enough to bring us some bread! It was really good rabbit though. Not gamey tasting and subtle flavors. Nothing overpowering. For entree we had the potato gnocchi with arribbatta sauce. This was excellent and we loved the sauce. Slightly spicy and a few jalapeños on top for a little extra heat. House made gnocchi was not too heavy but nice and fluffy. Our next dish was the Reginette, kinda a deconstructed lasagna. This came a little dry and scorched at the bottom and we sent back. They redid it and it was much better with extra sauce. Kendall the chef came out to apologize and we were impressed how quick they turned it around. The gnocchi was definitely my fave thing though. We had a lovely dinner here and enjoyed interacting with the staff. Even had a nice gin tasting with Amanda . Nice higher end Italian food and great environment.

I don't write reviews a lot but this was quite possibly one of my worst dining experiences so I feel compelled to do so. My husband and I enjoy dining out all over the city and country. When we came to find the "renowned Sam Hart" whose food we had before was the chef behind Spagett, we couldn't wait to try it. Dinner reservations were tough to come by as expected, so when Brunch reservations became available we jumped on them. Outside of the cool feel of dining in an old house everything else was terrible. The server never explained much of anything on the menu upon arriving at our table which, you'd expect at a new restaurant. The menu was poorly written and the waiter couldn't answer any of our questions such as, if the cocktail I chose was sweet. He told me he "didn't think so" and then tells me the first ingredient (Limoncello) listed on the menu is what it would contain the most of.... Which is obvious. My husband ordered the Carbonara French Toast. Nothing to write home about but the worst part was that it was cold. I ordered some egg dish with tomato sauce. The menu stated "SC egg" as an ingredient. When it arrived it looked like pasta. Turns out it's strips of omelette mixed into a sauce to resemble pasta. Would have been nice if the menu or server told you that the eggs were prepared like an omelette, it was just fine. Very bland. Lastly and probably the biggest problem is that after the cocktail I ordered fell short, I ordered a prosecco...that wasn't. I started drinking it and it was SUPER sweet. I tell my husband this tastes like moscato. When the server comes back I ask "is this processo? Because it tastes like moscato." He tells me it's a Moscato Prosecco LOL which is the first I've ever heard of that and is not a thing. Who serves someone something they didn't order especially a moscato and tries to pass it off like a prosecco AND lies when asked? We had to ask him to take it off the bill. Terrible way of service. I should have been told they didn't have prosecco and been given an option - not have them choose one for me and hope I didn't notice. I will say we got quite a laugh that we'll carry with us forever on the newest wine "Prosecco-Moscato". The manager or someone who worked there that didn't introduce themselves, came up and apologized about the moscato and by looking at the very little we ate, asked us how it was. He apologized and comped the French Toast as well. We appreciated that but that's what you should do. The entire experience was highly highly disappointing especially for how much we were looking forward to it. Maybe it's because it just opened or maybe we just had a really unlucky experience but I had to share since it's been a long time we've gone somewhere in which everything across the board didn't just fall short, but was terrible. Normally, if it was decent I'd give a place that just opened another try but we will never be back here - we do sincerely wish them the best of luck.

This is a new restaurant in the Fourth Ward. We have been waiting for it to open for months, and it did not disappoint! The staff was so friendly and helpful. They are stressing reservations, but you should still come by even if you don't have one. I went on Friday night around 6 and got a table for 7. It started getting really busy around 8. They are "small" plates but that just means you could easily share. I think could have been fine to just have one. My date ordered a beef pasta dish, I had the Cacio de Pepe, and we shared the Bucatini. It was all good but the Bucatini was our favorite. There is a fun looking drink menu but I just had a glass of wine. We will definitely be back, and I look forward to visiting here more often!

I had an absolutely amazing experience this weekend at Spaghett. My friend and I were able to grab two seats in the bar section this weekend and we had a feast. Everything we tried was tasty and had multi dimensional levels of flavor. A true culinary experience. The staff was absolutely amazing as well. We had a few hiccups because we did a bad job reading the menu (100% on us) and they were beyond accommodating.

This restaurant opened just a block over from where I live. Being an architecture and history nerd I love that is in a beautiful old home! I was so excited to visit and just couldn't get my hands on a reservation. I took my chances and showed up at 5:30 on a Friday and luckily there was a table open near the bar. The design of the restaurant is gorgeous. The staff and service is even better - EVERYONE was so kind. The espresso martini was to die for. Bread service with whipped ricotta was the perfect light appetizer before we got our pastas. Both of our dishes were phenomenal. My only thing, the portion size on the Cacio e Pepe was small, it was so delicious I wanted more. I couldn't recommend this place more and I cannot wait to come back!

10/10 experience at Spaghett! Loved the food and ambiance. We will definitely be back

Everything we had was amazing! Atmosphere was great and service was excellent. It is not your "typical" Italian restaurant and something much different from anything i have had before and I really enjoyed everything we had. This seems to be a place that will be changing their menus which will make coming back easy. Our favorite thing was the potato scarpinocc followed by the pork. The pork was very tender and the pesto rice went very well with it. I do wish for the bread service it came with more bread because it was so good and an option to just have oil to dip it in. Overall, excellent addition to Charlotte

Exceptional service & cocktails... This restaurant has a great concept and beautiful ambiance, with the kind of potential that makes you want to love it. And while the cocktail program and service was truly 5-star -- friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable -- unfortunately, the food and overall execution left us disappointed. (Side note: based on the other reviews, this may have just been an "off night.") We started with the rabbit terrine, which had promise but fell flat. The texture wasn't quite right, and while the fennel and onion jam were both flavorful, they weren't enough to carry the dish. Another appetizer -- a cheese plate served with mustard -- was particularly disappointing. The cheeses were not introduced (a missed opportunity to educate or engage), and the mustard was jarringly unpleasant, overpowering everything else on the plate. Our mains included the gnocchi Arrabbiata and the cacio e pepe. The gnocchi was burned and the sauce lacked freshness -- oddly spiced with jalapeños, which clashed with the Calabrian chili and disrupted the intended flavor profile. The cacio e pepe featured pasta that didn't appear to be homemade, lacked proper seasoning, and had an unexpected lemony note that didn't belong in such a simple, classic dish. The deconstructed tiramisu may have been the lowest point of the meal. The homemade ladyfingers were bland, and the components -- unsweetened mascarpone, blackberry jelly, and a pour of espresso -- simply didn't come together in any meaningful or satisfying way. We did appreciate that a manager stopped by, though his response to our feedback was odd. When we noted concerns about the food and wine service (specifically the misconception that a chilled red becomes a "white wine"), he simply removed the gnocchi from our bill rather than listening and engaging in conversation. He did offer to remake the dish, which we declined, but the gesture felt more transactional than thoughtful. One final note: when booking the reservation, we noted that it was a birthday celebration, but there was no acknowledgment. While not a dealbreaker, if you ask guests whether they're celebrating, it's best to follow through -- those small touches create return customers. Also worth mentioning -- the portion sizes were very small, especially for the price point. That wouldn't have been an issue if the food had been exceptional, as we would've happily ordered more. But given the quality we experienced, it felt unbalanced. I truly hope this feedback is received as constructive. It's clear that a lot of thought and investment went into opening this space, and the right foundation is there. But on this visit, the food -- which should be the star -- simply didn't shine. I would love to see this restaurant succeed and hope future experiences reflect the potential we saw glimpses of.

We went on a Thursday with no reservations around 6:30 and was able to get bar seating for 2 with no problem. The bar has seating for 8 that is first-come, first-serve. The service at the bar was excellent and very attentive. They were knowledgeable about the drinks and the cuisine and offered many suggestions. We started with a Spaghett (Miller Highlife, Aperol and lemon juice) and a Tiramisu Milk Punch. The TMP was surprisingly refreshing and definitely had tiramisu finish. All the cocktails we had were excellent and our favorite was the Big Dom. We started with the seasonal field greens (salad) that was described as a "southern" Caesar salad. It was an excellent description and had very fresh black kale and arugula. Next was the star of the show, the French Toast "alla carbonara". This is a very unique dish that mixes texture and flavor wonderfully. The honey aioli with the pancetta on pan toasted bread really works! Next was the Reginette Della Cotta. It's a beef and mushroom ragu with house made pasta. The beef was ground and mixed in with the mushrooms which I thought lost a little bit of the umami flavor. I feel a braised short rib would work better, but it was still very tasty. We finished with the Breaded Mangalitsa Pork. The pork was so tender and very moist with a light but extremely crispy and savory breading. The salsa verda had deep citrus taste that worked excellently with the Carolina Gold Rice. This dish is deliciously unique and displays the chefs potential for future menus. Overall Spaghett offers an excellent dining experience with uncommon cuisine combinations and superb service.
